Stock Market Plummets: Retirement Crisis to Strike By End of 2018
If you're counting on your pension, the stock market, or Social Security to make it through retirement, there's a very good chance you're going to face major financial problems. Goldman Sachs Asset Management is warning about not only U.S. debt but global debt, now over $237 trillion...and Morgan Stanley is predicting big losses in the near future. The next stock market crash will not discriminate when it comes to individual mutual funds. They are ALL waiting to be slammed with major losses.
Protect Your Retirement Before It's Too Late.

Technicals
The main appeal from a technical perspective is the outperfomance of Motorla stock versus the S&P 500. This was first seen in late October when MSI bottomed very near to its mid-month low. Recent price action appears much more obvious as the equity index turned lower on November 8 while MSI managed to hold near highs. There seems to be a small hurdle near $130, but after several attempts bears have failed to elicit a downturn. This is especially significant considering that equities were broadly weaker during the period this resistance level was being tested. Considering the overall trend and the strength displayed as of late, the odds favor an upside break. The below chart has an overlay of the S&P 500 to illustrate the recent divergence.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for MSI, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, or at least not decline very much.
Buy To Open MSI 21DEC18 125 Puts (MSI181221P125)
Sell To Open MSI 21DEC18 130 Puts (MSI181221P130) for a credit of $1.84 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when MSI was trading near $130. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
Your commission on this trade will only be $2.50 per spread (the rate charged by thinkorswim for Terry’s Tips’ subscribers). Each contract would then yield $181.50 and your broker would charge a $500 maintenance fee, making your investment $318.50 ($500 – $181.50). If MSI closes at any price above $130 on December 21, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 57% (650% annualized).
